This information is for pregnant women. If other family members need coverage too, see Families with children under 21.
What is the income limit?
The income limit and whose income is counted depend on who lives with you. Income limits for pregnant women are higher than most other adults.
Can I get coverage if I have a house or car?
Yes, there is no asset limit for pregnant women.
Can I get coverage if I have savings, a retirement account, or other assets?
Yes, there is no asset limit for pregnant women.
What will coverage cost?
There may be a monthly premium. The amount, if any, depends on your income and who lives with you. Pregnant women do not have copays.
When will my coverage start?
After you are approved, coverage may:
Go back to the date your application was received
Go back three months from the date your application was received
Begin the month after you are approved, or pay your first premium if you have one. Call your county office if you have questions about when coverage can start.
When will my coverage end?
When your baby is born, we will review your information to see if your coverage can continue under the rules for parents.
Will my baby have coverage?
You need to tell your worker when your child is born. If you have coverage for the birth month, your baby will get coverage through the month of his or her first birthday.
What if I have other health insurance?
You may still get coverage. You must tell us if you:
Have other health insurance
Could be covered under someone elses insurance
Could get coverage through an employer or military service.
Sometimes we can pay the cost of the other insurance so you can keep that coverage.
Which program should I apply for?
Different programs have different rules and costs. We will review your application for any program that you may be eligible for, unless you tell us differently. Some people want to apply only for MinnesotaCare. Before doing so, read the differences between Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare. Contact us
